So a team uh a company called Paterna, great name.
for the company in this business, they've managed for the first time ever to take a sample of a man's testes, his testicles for the spermate, tiny sample, and they grew sperm out of that sample.
It's a very high numbers.
And they took those and fertilized an egg with IVF and an embryo could form, right?
Now remember that's a remarkable thing.
They've tried this for a long time.
They can do it in mice actually, but never shown in humans.
They basically got the conditions to allow sperm to develop in a test tube, starting with a sample of immature sperm from the testes.
And that really worked.
And they got billions of sperm from this.
Now remember it's a numbers game.
So if you can grow them in a d in a test tube, this is great.
And the guy in charge of that company said, Isn't this wonderful now?
If if he
He has a man in his clinic, he's an andrologist, that's the specialty.
And he does the sperm count and the man only has five million, he's I'm very sorry.
You're not going to be able to have a baby.
He may now be able to take a sample from that man's testicles and grow up millions and millions of sperm and use them to fertilize the egg.
And so this has generated lots of hope.
Half of all fertility in us as a species is because of men having sperm problems, remember.
